Garden Gazebos

Installing a garden gazebo in your backyard is the perfect way to create a welcoming retreat for family and friends to enjoy the scenery and lounge outdoors.

Depending on your garden's style, there is more than likely a variety of garden gazebo designs that will suit your style, landscape and pocketbook.

The subsequent article discusses gazebo installation and design to suit any garden style.

The most commonly found gazebo designs resemble antique Victorian Gazebo Style structures. These are generally built from rot resistant cedar or pressure treated woods that can be stained a natural wood color or primarily painted white with contrasting color accents.

This type of gazebo style is still popular in both in public landscapes and private gardens. Gazebo kits can readily be found at home improvement and garden centers.

Of course, an enterprising builder can even design a plan to perfectly suit the setting. Victorian style gazebos may be simple affairs with floor, railings and roofs or highly ornate features with built-in benches, stairs and ramps.

Gazebo designs are generally open-air structures but it is possible to incorporate screens for those areas with significant mosquito populations.

Many Victorian style gazebos also feature climbing plants. For example, the gazebo's base may be constructed with lattice-work which is the perfect support for an English ivy or colorful climbing roses.

When landscaping and plants are settled within the garden, they becomes the perfect backdrop for any garden gazebo setting.

For a private romantic secluded gazebo arrangement, consider installing tall trellises around the gazebo and hang baskets of flowers from hooks along the gazebo's rim. This style is perfectly adapted to a traditional formal English style garden or alternatively a rustic country landscape.
